From Lake Monate, one of Italy’s cleanest and most evocative, the route descends to Lake Maggiore through fields, clearings, woods and peat bogs.
This brings it out at the Santa Caterina hermitage, one of Varese province’s symbol monuments and certainly  one of Lake Maggiore’s most admired.
It then continues across Sasso Ballaro and its cliff before flanking the lake and some of its most attractive beaches to the starting point.
